I don't like when art teachers criticize your artwork and tell you it should look differently

Just one work to describe Tim Burton: GENIUS!!!

Tim burton = artist Johnny Depp = the instrument

A total genius! I love Burton´s pieces of art. It´s just adorable.

MAN! When I saw that Tim Burton was coming to MoMA I wanted to go so bad, but I live way out here in Colorado. I hope he comes back?! I'm actually going to be visiting New York in December 2012, so perhaps he will. That would be awesome.

I was told I could not draw as well, and he's lucky that he found a supportive teacher that let him express himself, I never had that opportunity, but I still felt confident about myself and continue to draw Tim Burton is the man.

i want him as my art professor !!!!!!!!!

Love his drawings definitely a rare talent

wow....I didn't know that I had so much in common with this guy. I've always loved him and his work but I had no idea that I was this relatable to him. Just the things he says and his feelings growing up...reminds me of myself.

Hola Tim burton, I went to your art exhibit in Los Angeles and left fully inspired. Also when I had seen your movies growing up I was always intrigued by how much they reminded me of my hometown of Burbank. Now I know why.

This man irks my world in such a good way ( : His raw talent is a masterpiece!!

Good job MoMA. Should be on display! Stunning art Mr.Burton.

I absolutely love Tim Burton as a director! Everything he's made is just amazing! I'm currently working on getting all of his movies on high defintion Blu-Ray, although i already got it on DVD and VHS!

absolutely correct mr. Burton! people forget that children should be able to express themselves however they feel and many adults try to mold them to fit into society.... i for one let my little sister express herself freely and she is amazing! she's watching Edward Scissorhands as we speak... she loves it and she's 2! aha LOL :)

tim burton is an inspiring genius im a huge fan of his, and a supporter of his movies, he's my favourite director i want to try copying some of his artwork, it's definitely my kind of style, he's truly amazing :)

Best interview ever! I wish I could be there with Tim Burton he is my everything, he inspires me everyday. I can't wait for Alice In Wonderland. Thank you so much for making this video and actually letting people post it. I love it.

his work is amazing!

I can die happy because he FINALLY acknowledged his obsession with wearing black and white striped socks! Tim Burton: you are my hero.

This man is one of my greatest inspirations!

Come on, Mr. Burton, just release your Japanese Hansel & Gretel already!! There's a hole in my Tim Burton movie collection that needs to be filled!

was not a big tim burton fan, had seen a couple of films by him and just didn't care much for him. i saw this exhibit tonight and really admire his creativity and childish, yet twisted, vision. bravo mr burton for being able to express yourself in such a wicked manner.

The exhibit was great. I'm lucky to live in this part of the world, where everything is at our fingertips.

Wow Tim burton is amazing! I love his movies!

Great video. I like the way he shares his experiences of being in school and the challenge of maintaining his creativity. It reminded me of Sir Ken Robinson's talk on creativity at TED.

Ah gosh he is so freaking amazing at what he does!

a real ARTIST, a great man, an inspiration for me. As an actress I'd die to get to work with you Mr. Burton.

This man takes my dreams and turn it into masterpieces.

I love his mannerisms! Hes so charming.

Love u Tim! It's scary how much I can relate to this guy! :)

He's the reason why I want to become a director. He's my biggest insperation.

man those draws are really crazy LOVE IT :D though his best movie overall (in my opinion) is nightmare before chrismas

where other people drift off while creating too much movies, tim burton stays a true genius. all of his films are blockbusters and you can tell why.

Love it! A brilliant interview.

I got my book signed by him last week. Awesome guy

the style of Tim Burton is so special : it is the best style of all styles it is so creepy , so fantastic ... his really own style

Good lord, his art is incredible. Wow.

i just love all Tim's draws.

i love Tim Burton, he is an inspiration for me as i want to e a film maker. He is really amazing!!

best director ever

Tim Burton is the Best... love it x10000000000000000000000000000000000000

Listening to my idol just inspired me. I'm doing a project on what my future career will e and I finally know what to do know! Thx

Tim Burton my all time most favorite!!!!!!!!!!! he is soo amazingly talented and same here that i don't like art teachers or anybody that criticize my drawings, art etc. and saying it should be this or that and not different. any forms of art should be different cause everybody is an individual and has their own style there is no "this is suppose to be this or that" your suppose to be expressing yourself through your art!

You just never know what goes on in the head of some people and Tim Burton is just an amazing artistic genius. His drawings are fantastic!

Tim I love you and all your work and Helena and Johnny!!!! Go Tim!!!

my mom and i have been saving up since this was announced in.. i think early spring wasn't it? we're gonna come see this in spring break!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!

Such a Brilliant Man.

Ahhhh!!!!! I LOVE Tim. I must go to New York. I don't matter that I live in Italy... I will find the money.. lovelovelovelove tim

i was at the premier i met tim hes the best!

Tim Burton has always been my role model and I'm only ten and send him fan mail !

@ToddsTickler The tracks were written by Danny Elfman for specifically use in the MOMA exhibit. They played on the in the gallery spaces and on the exhibit's website.

GENIUS... simple as that.

i was there! Mind blown!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim Burton is my inspiration

hes just the best

I love him. He is my idol.

Wow look at those pictures

his artwork blows my mind.

Insane. In the most simply amazing way. That's all there is to say. (Rhyming was unintentional)

He is amazing...

my idol ;) he's one of the best minds of anytime. not just this one.

I love Tim is a genius!

Brilliant

It would have been great if The Giant Zlig would have been published, I've seen the pictures of the ones that were at the Tim Burton exhibit in LACMA, and I thought his drawings for that story were very good. I hope he gets it published soon, I'd like to own a copy.

He's got such a cute smile.

I went to the Lacma exhibit in LACMA it was awesome a bit small but so much fun it really inspired me to try to draw again

I love him. This video actually made me laugh. In a good way, though. Especially when he was talking about his striped socks :D Ah....

loving the 'clothes peg' he has on his little finger.

The movie is "The Omega Man" with Charlton Heston. It's an old movie from 1971... you can google it...

Can t wait for Dark Shadows.It will Tim Burton at his best :)

tim burton is a bad ass

wow...so surprised to find I have ALOT in common with this guy. I've always loved him as a director but I didn't know I was this relatable to him. cool...

Haha, we had to do biographys for english class, so I chose to do Tim. I got the highest grade of all the classes, even honors (99/100), and I got the most attention, I appaerntly had the most enthusiasm of everyone, and I only got a 99 because I went over the time limit. XD My dream is to someday 1: work at Tim Burton films, and 2: to go see the MoMa exihibit on him. I'd be the happiest person alive if I got both accomlished....

Brillante!

He paint REALLY great!!

YES! I SECOND THAT REQUEST HOW?

You had me at I'm Tim Burton

One of my teachers

he is really awesome what can i say?i like his sytle so much...if i will make movies too i wanna make my own style:)

some people get off saying that tim burton's work is weird and strange and because of that, they label him a weirdo but come to think of it........who ISN"T weird. we are all weird in our own ways thats what my philosophy of life is. Normal is boring.

tim burton is hilarious

moma is going to be a f...k good ass show

I'm going to MoMa tomorrow and will take lots of pictures. Which reminds me, I should probably charge my camera...

I love Tim Burton's stripes :) Whether it's his socks or Sweeney Todd's bathing suit, I love it.

@Loz8900 AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT MAKES HIM UNIQUE. HE DOENS'T FOLLOW THE CROWD. HE DOES WHAT HE LOVE BEST. TIM BURTON YOU ARE VERY UNIQUE.

This is the man I dream of one day meeting.

Kids like twisted things too. Atleast I did. Edward scissohands was a childhood movie of mine.

I really like that background music. If anyone could get an mp3 link for the bgm, I would love you for a long time :)

@linkfan160 Me to, his work has touched alot of people I defend his movies that get alot of slack like 'Planet of the Apes' and 'Alice In Wonderland' Kevin Smith doesn't have a quarter ofTims admiration from the world, he won't be forgotten

I agree and disagree. I agree because others should get a chance, and there are lots of other actors/actress' would be great in his movies. But I disagree because Johnny Depp really does an epic job. I love them both, they inspire me. :)

Wow...Tim Burton...love all his movies...he is a great inspiration to me in my art and my movies. what's on his finger by the way? :O
